MODERATORS
I'm still grinding through Cyberpunk out of sheer sunk cost fallacy. I'm currently 14 hours in.
It's not a good open world game since the open world is not very engaging. It's not a good RPG game since most of the choices don't feel meaningful. It's not a good FPS game since the enemies are bullet sponges.
They should have called this game Yapping Simulator 2077. And the yapping isn't even that good
huh, I found Night City to be among the best representation of an actual lived in city.
Also skip most of the gunplay and spec into cyberwizard to blow people up with your mind
It looks good but every part of the city looks identical. I understand that cyberpunk as a genre is a critique of capitalism and the city is supposed to be a claustrophobic hellscape. But this doesn't make for very rewarding exploration in a videogame. At least in my experience so far.
I recently played The Ascent which is another cyberpunk game, they handled this much better. Every part of the city is visually distinct and has its own personality.
But I'm gonna continue playing Cyberpunk, I still feel like I have just scratched the surface, maybe I will change my mind.
Huh, you think? I thought at least the in-universe Chinatown, Watson, the Suburbs and Pacifica felt very distinct.
i've bounced off it a couple times, i feel like the writing is just not that good which is unforgivable in an RPG
yeah.. that game was really disappointing for me.. i'm not sure what exactly i expected, but it wasn't the game they made
